The Post-UN World
I got to thinking-what would the world be like if and when the UN collapses? (the real one-not NS)
The UN seems to have done a good job stopping major wars, however it may be better because there would not be as much international law for individual nation states to contend with.

Personally I see the UN as a safe-gaurd of opinions. Instead of having to ask every nation in the world if it's okay to go to war with this nation and if you can have their support, all you have to do is see what most nations in the world think. And without the UN, I'd hate to think how much more power the US would have, the US would've probably conquered Canada, Mexico, central America and more by now without this safe-gaurd! :shock:

America would no longer have an official rubber stamp to say it is occupying the moral high ground. Which would make it look even worse than now.

I never saw the US as actually caring if it got the stamp of approval from the international community. When your the strongest nation in the world you don't really need to. If it did care it would have tried to get a second UN resolution. Again.
I'm not saying there wouldn't be another world governing body. If one were formed, what do you think it would be like, and would it work?

I would hope all nations would be equal, and that all countries would join this. Then all problems could be solved diplomatically, and more gov. money could be used for useful things, like health care, and education, and reforesting the deforested forests. The could call it the Global Community, but that would probably relate too much to a couple of books, so why not call International Nations. If every nation would agree to it, we'd have no reason, other than tax purposes, to have nations at all!
It'd suck because It would take all Neutral Medium out of the world. And The planet would go to hell in a Handbasket without the Agencies it supports like Unscom and Unesco
